Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The invention relates to a mounting device for the
detachable attachment of an aiming device to a handgun. The
invention further relates to a housing of a handgun, which
comprises an attachment device for such a mount.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Such a mounting device is known from U.S. Pat. No. 3,579,840
A. Therein, in each case a fixed clamping jaw as well as an
adjustable clamping jaw on the opposite side are arranged on a
ring-shaped holding device. On the bottom side of the ring-shaped
holding device, between the two clamping jaws, a bar-shaped
repelling roller is provided for the engagement in a corresponding
continuous transverse groove on a base portion which can be
attached to the handgun. By means of the repelling roller, the
forces acting at the time of the firing are absorbed, and as a
result an improved precision can be achieved. However, as a result
of the continuous transverse grooves, the attachment device is also
weakened, and thus the stiffness is affected.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The invention relates to a mounting device and a housing of
a handgun for such a mounting device, which enable a stable and
accurately reproducible attachment of an aiming device.
[0004] In the mounting device according to the invention, the
repelling roller comprises two mutually facing and mutually
separate engagement elements for the engagement in two mutually
separate recesses on the handgun. The housing, which is part of the
mounting device, contains an attachment device which comprises two
mutually facing recesses that are separated from each other by a
middle bar, for the engagement of the engagement elements on the
repelling roller. By means of the middle bar, an additional
stability on the housing is achieved, which allows an improved
precision, and a high repetition accuracy during the mounting of an
aiming device. The repelling forces acting at the time of the
firing can be absorbed better, and an extremely precise positive
locking connection is nevertheless achieved, between the mounting
device and the housing or system casing, or the other portions of
the handgun, making possible a high and consistent aiming
precision, even after repeated removal and renewed mounting of the
aiming device.
[0005] It is preferable to form a slot for receiving a middle bar
extending in the longitudinal direction on the handgun, between the
two engagement elements of the repelling roller. As a result, an
accurate and precise connection and additional lateral guidance
between the mounting device and the handgun are achieved.
[0006] In a further advantageous embodiment, the returning roller
comprises a base body which is arranged in a bore of the holding
device, and on which the engagement elements can be formed. By
means of the, for example, circular, base body, the repelling
roller can be arranged in a bore on the bottom side of the holding
device.
[0007] In a further advantageous embodiment, the engagement
elements opposite the mutually facing clamping jaws, and also the
recesses for the engagement elements opposite the recesses for the
clamping jaws are offset toward the front or the rear in the
longitudinal direction of the holding device or of the attachment
device. As a result, the clamping area of the clamping jaws is not
limited.
[0008] In a particularly stable embodiment which is easy to mount,
the holding device is configured in the shape of a mounting bridge
having front and rear clamping jaws. However, the holding device
can also be formed as a single mounting. It is also possible to
attach an aiming telescope or another aiming device to a handgun by
means of two, for example, ring-shaped, individual mountings.
[0009] The attachment device is preferably integrated in the
housing, and it can contain two mounting bases that are separated
from each other in the longitudinal direction of the housing, on
which in each case two facing recesses are provided for the
clamping jaws and in each case two groove-shaped recesses for the
repelling roller, which extend transversely to the longitudinal
direction of the housing and which are separated by a middle bar
from each other in each case.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0015] In FIG. 1, a housing 1 of a repeater rifle is shown, which
housing is configured as a system casing or a breech casing. The
housing 1 comprises on its front end a sleeve-shaped barrel holder
2 for the detachable attachment of a barrel. Furthermore, on the
housing 1, a recess 3 for receiving a breech of the repeater rifle
is provided. On the housing 1, next to the barrel, in a manner
which in itself is known, a fore end of the barrel, which is not
shown, and a rear end of the barrel, which is also not represented,
of the repeater rifle are attached. For the detachable attachment
of an aiming telescope or of another aiming device, the housing 1
comprises additionally on its upper side an attachment device for a
mounting device 4 shown in FIG. 2.
[0016] In the embodiment example shown in FIG. 1, the attachment
device comprises facing side recesses 6 for the engagement of the
clamping jaws 17 and 19 shown in FIG. 4, as well as mutually
separate recesses 9 formed as transverse grooves for the engagement
of a repelling roller 10 represented in FIG. 2. The housing 1
comprises on its upper side two mounting bases 11 and 12 which are
mutually separate in the longitudinal direction of the housing 1,
and on which in each case two facing recesses 6 are provided as
well as two groove-shaped recesses 9 which extend transversely to
the longitudinal axis of the housing 1 and which are separated from
each other by a middle bar 13. The middle bar 13 here extends in
the longitudinal direction of the housing 1. The recesses 6 are
designed as side milled slots in the form of a circular arc. The
recesses 9, which are configured as transverse grooves, are offset
toward the front or the rear opposite the recesses 6 in the
longitudinal direction of the housing 1. The recesses 9 can be
produced in a simple manner, for example, using an end mill.
[0017] The mounting device 4 shown in FIGS. 2-4 in different views
comprises a holding device 14 configured as a mounting bridge and
having front and rear mounting portions 15 and 16 for setting on
the mounting bases 11 or 12 of the housing 1. On the front and rear
mounting portions 15 and 16 of the bridge-shaped holding device 14,
a stationary clamping jaw 17 and a facing recess 18 for an
adjustable clamping jaw 19 shown in FIG. 4 are provided in each
case. The two recesses 18 comprise beveled outer faces 20 for the
application of the adjustable clamping jaws 19 and the bores 21, as
well as the grooves 22 for an attachment lever 23 shown in FIG. 4,
or other elements for the actuation of the adjustable clamping jaws
19. Both the fixed clamping jaws 17 and also the adjustable
clamping jaws 19 comprise, on the free ends thereof, semicircular
clamping jaws 24, which are beveled on both sides, for engagement
in the recesses 6, which are in the shape of a circular arc, on the
housing--[sic] 1.
[0018] On the bottom side of the front and rear mounting portions
15 and 16, two beveled application faces 25, which are shown in
FIG. 2, are provided for the application of the holding device 14
on the roof-shaped application faces 26 of the mounting bases 11
and 12, faces which can be seen in FIG. 1. In the bridge-shaped
holding device 14, bores 27 are arranged for the attachment of ring
holders or other holders for the attachment of the aiming telescope
or of other aiming devices. Moreover, on the bottom side of the two
mounting portions 15 and 16 of the holding device 14, a repelling
roller 10 with two mutually separate bar-shaped engagement elements
28 is provided in each case, for the positive-locking engagement in
the two mutually separate groove-shaped recesses 9 on the housing
1.
[0019] As is apparent in particular from FIG. 3, the repelling
roller 10 comprises a round base body 29 which is inserted in a
corresponding bore 30 on the bottom side of the bridge-shaped
holding device 14. Between the two bar-shaped engagement elements
28, a slot 31 for receiving the middle bar 13, which is configured
on the housing 1 of the handgun and which extends in the
longitudinal direction of the housing 1, is provided. Due to the
orientation of the middle bar 13 in the longitudinal direction of
the housing 1, an accurate and precise connection and an additional
lateral guidance between the mounting device 4 and the housing 1
occur, since the bar-shaped engagement elements 28 are led by the
middle bar 13 extending in the longitudinal direction of the
housing 1 for the positive locking engagement in the groove-shaped
recesses 9.
[0020] The positive-locking engagement of the bar-shaped engagement
elements 28 of the repelling roller 10 occurs in such a manner that
the bar-shaped engagement elements 28 like a bridge overlap the
middle bar 13 extending in the longitudinal direction of the
housing 1. An additional inner bore 26 for the attachment of, for
example, ring-shaped, holders or other holding devices, can be
covered by the round base body 29. The bar-shaped engagement
elements 28 are rounded off on their mutually facing sides, so that
they fit with the best possible positive-locking connection in the
groove-shaped recesses 9 produced, for example, by an end mill.
